Rotax 991 V-Twin Engine - At the core of the 2010 Can-Am Spyder RT roadster is the Rotax 991 V-Twin engine, featuring electronic throttle control specifically calibrated for touring.
Vehicle Stability System (VSS) - The Y-architecture enables the Spyder to host an innovative and unique stability system. Developed in conjunction with Bosch, the Vehicle Stability System (VSS) reduces the risk of losing control, integrated into Vehicle Stability System (VSS) and Stability Control system (SCS), Traction Control System (TCS) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) functions.
TRANSMISSION
SEMI-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (SE5) With the Can-Am Spyder RT roadster’s optional semi-automatic 5-speed transmission with reverse, there’s no shifting with your foot. No clutching with your hand. Simply apply pressure with your left thumb to shift up, and use your forefinger to downshift. There’s more than one way to shift. It’s easy: thumb shifts up, index finger downshifts.
